Acidic microenvironment responsive polymeric MOF-based nanoparticles induce immunogenic cell death for combined cancer therapy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The complex tumor microenvironment and non-targeting drugs limit the efficacy of clinical tumor therapy. For ensuring the accurate delivery and maximal effects of anticancer drugs, it is important to develop innovative drug delivery system based on nano-strategies.

Result

In this study, an intracellular acidity-responsive polymeric metal organic framework nanoparticle (denoted as DIMP) has been constructed, which can co-deliver the chemotherapy agent of doxorubicin (DOX) and phototherapy agent of indocyanine green (ICG) for breast carcinoma theranostics. Specifically, DIMP possesses a suitable and stable nanometer size and can respond to the acidic microenvironment in cells, thus precisely delivering drugs into target tumor sites and igniting the biological reactions towards cell apoptosis. Following in vivo and in vitro results showed that DIMP could be effectively accumulated in tumor sites and induced powerful immunogenic cell death (ICD) effect.

Conclusion

The designed DIMP displayed its effectiveness in combined photo-chemotherapy with auxiliary of ICD effect under a multimodal imaging monitor. Thus, the present MOF-based strategy may offer a potential paradigm for designing drug-delivery system for image-guided synergistic tumor therapy.

Natural Melanin-Based Nanoparticles With Combined Chemo/Photothermal/Photodynamic Effect Induce Immunogenic Cell Death (ICD) on Tumor.

Project description:Melanin, as a natural product, has been used as an extraordinary ingredient for nanomedicine due to its great biocompatibility and light responsive property. In this study, polydopamine (PDA), an analog of melanin, was extracted from dopamine and encapsulated with doxorubicin (DOX). The as-prepared nanoparticles (NPs) with good stability, great biosafety and high near infrared (NIR) responsive property ameliorated the cell uptake of DOX in OS-RC-2/ADR cells, exhibited synergistic chemo/photothermal (PTT)/photodynamic (PDT) effects, induced the release of damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), and finally, led to immunogenic cell death (ICD). In general, it was suggested that PDA-DOX NPs with NIR irradiation could serve as a promising agent for tumor therapy.

Delivery of an immunogenic cell death-inducing copper complex to cancer stem cells using polymeric nanoparticles.

Project description:The major cause for cancer related deaths worldwide is tumour relapse and metastasis, both of which have been heavily linked to the existence of cancer stem cells (CSCs). CSCs are able to escape current treatment regimens, reform tumours, and promote their spread to secondary sites. Recently, our research group reported the first metal-based agent 1 (a copper(ii) compound ligated by a bidentate 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline and a tridentate Schiff base ligand) to potently kill CSCs via cytotoxic and immunogenic mechanisms. Here we show that encapsulation of 1 by polymeric nanoparticles at the appropriate feed (10%, 1 NP10) enhances CSC uptake and improves potency towards bulk cancer cells and CSCs (grown in monolayer and three-dimensional cultures). The nanoparticle formulation triggers a similar cellular response to the payload, which bodes well for further translation. Specifically, the nanoparticle formulation elevates intracellular reactive oxygen species levels, induces ER stress, and evokes damage-associated molecular patterns consistent with immunogenic cell death. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that polymeric nanoparticles can be used to effectively deliver immunogenic metal complexes into CSCs.

From Immunogenic Cell Death to Immunogenic Modulation: Select Chemotherapy Regimens Induce a Spectrum of Immune-Enhancing Activities in the Tumor Microenvironment.

Project description:Cancer treatment has rapidly entered the age of immunotherapy, and it is becoming clear that the effective therapy of established tumors necessitates rational multi-combination immunotherapy strategies. But even in the advent of immunotherapy, the clinical role of standard-of-care chemotherapy regimens still remains significant and may be complementary to emerging immunotherapeutic approaches. Depending on dose, schedule, and agent, chemotherapy can induce immunogenic cell death, resulting in the release of tumor antigens to stimulate an immune response, or immunogenic modulation, sensitizing surviving tumor cells to immune cell killing. While these have been previously defined as distinct processes, in this review we examine the published mechanisms supporting both immunogenic cell death and immunogenic modulation and propose they be reclassified as similar effects termed "immunogenic cell stress." Treatment-induced immunogenic cell stress is an important result of cytotoxic chemotherapy and future research should consider immunogenic cell stress as a whole rather than just immunogenic cell death or immunogenic modulation. Cancer treatment strategies should be designed specifically to take advantage of these effects in combination immunotherapy, and novel chemotherapy regimens should be designed and investigated to potentially induce all aspects of immunogenic cell stress.

Light-Responsive Polymeric Micellar Nanoparticles with Enhanced Formulation Stability.

Project description:Light-sensitive polymeric micelles have recently emerged as promising drug delivery systems for spatiotemporally controlled release of payload at target sites. Here, we developed diazonaphthoquinone (DNQ)-conjugated micellar nanoparticles that showed a change in polarity of the micellar core from hydrophobic to hydrophilic under UV light, releasing the encapsulated anti-cancer drug, doxetaxel (DTX). The micelles exhibited a low critical micelle concentration and high stability in the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) solution due to the hydrophobic and π-π stacking interactions in the micellar core. Cell studies showed enhanced cytotoxicity of DTX-loaded micellar nanoparticles upon irradiation. The enhanced stability would increase the circulation time of the micellar nanoparticles in blood, and enhance the therapeutic effectiveness for cancer therapy.

Tumor Microenvironment-Triggered Aggregated Magnetic Nanoparticles for Reinforced Image-Guided Immunogenic Chemotherapy.

Project description:Anticancer therapies, which can induce cell death and elevate antitumor immune response in the meantime, are considered as effective treatments for many types of cancers. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) induced by chemodrugs is a promising and typical strategy to achieve cell cytotoxicity and immunological enhancement together. However, due to the low level of ICD induction and less tumor-targeting accumulation, application of traditional ICD inducers is limited. Here, tumor-targeting core-shell magnetic nanoparticles (ETP-PtFeNP:α-enolase targeting peptide modified Pt-prodrug loaded Fe3O4 nanoparticles) are developed to reinforce ICD induction of loaded-oxaliplatin (IV) prodrug. After tumor-targeting accumulation and endocytosis, platinum (IV) complexes are activated by intracellular reductive elimination to yield and release the Pt (II) congener, oxaliplatin, leading to DNA lesions and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Simultaneously, in-progress-released ferric ions elicit highly toxic ROS (·OH or ·OOH) burst and interfere with the intracytoplasmic redox balance (like endoplasmic reticulum stress), leading to ICD-associated immunogenicity enhancement and specific antitumor immune responses to kill the tumor cells synergistically. Meanwhile, the transverse relaxation rate R 2 of ETP-PtFeNP is remarkably increased by more than three times while triggered by reductant, suggesting ETP-PtFeNP a high-sensitivity T 2 contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging.

Radiotherapy induced immunogenic cell death by remodeling tumor immune microenvironment.

Project description:Emerging evidence indicates that the induction of radiotherapy(RT) on the immunogenic cell death (ICD) is not only dependent on its direct cytotoxic effect, changes in the tumor immune microenvironment also play an important role in it. Tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) refers to the immune microenvironment that tumor cells exist, including tumor cells, inflammatory cells, immune cells, various signaling molecules and extracellular matrix. TIME has a barrier effect on the anti-tumor function of immune cells, which can inhibit all stages of anti-tumor immune response. The remodeling of TIME caused by RT may affect the degree of immunogenicity, and make it change from immunosuppressive phenotype to immunostimulatory phenotype. It is of great significance to reveal the causes of immune escape of tumor cells, especially for the treatment of drug-resistant tumor. In this review, we focus on the effect of RT on the TIME, the mechanism of RT in reversing the TIME to suppress intrinsic immunity, and the sensitization effect of the remodeling of TIME caused by RT on the effectiveness of immunotherapy.

Tumor-treating fields (TTFields) induce immunogenic cell death resulting in enhanced antitumor efficacy when combined with anti-PD-1 therapy.

Project description:Tumor-treating fields (TTFields) are alternating electric fields in a specific frequency range (100-300 kHz) delivered to the human body through transducer arrays. In this study, we evaluated whether TTFields-mediated cell death can elicit antitumoral immunity and hence would be effectively combined with anti-PD-1 therapy. We demonstrate that in TTFields-treated cancer cells, damage-associated molecular patterns including high-mobility group B1 and adenosine triphosphate are released and calreticulin is exposed on the cell surface. Moreover, we show that TTFields treatment promotes the engulfment of cancer cells by dendritic cells (DCs) and DCs maturation in vitro, as well as recruitment of immune cells in vivo. Additionally, our study demonstrates that the combination of TTFields with anti-PD-1 therapy results in a significant decline of tumor volume and increase in the percentage of tumor-infiltrating leukocytes in two tumor models. In orthotopic lung tumors, these infiltrating leukocytes, specifically macrophages and DCs, showed elevated expression of PD-L1. Compatibly, cytotoxic T-cells isolated from these tumors demonstrated increased production of IFN-?. In colon cancer tumors, T-cells infiltration was significantly increased following long treatment duration with TTFields plus anti-PD-1. Collectively, our results suggest that TTFields therapy can induce anticancer immune response. Furthermore, we demonstrate robust efficacy of concomitant application of TTFields and anti-PD-1 therapy. These data suggest that integrating TTFields with anti-PD-1 therapy may further enhance antitumor immunity, hence achieve better tumor control.

Matrix Metalloproteinase Responsive, Proximity-activated Polymeric Nanoparticles for siRNA Delivery.

Project description:Small interfering RNA (siRNA) has significant potential to evolve into a new class of pharmaceutical inhibitors, but technologies that enable robust, tissue-specific intracellular delivery must be developed before effective clinical translation can be achieved. A pH-responsive, smart polymeric nanoparticle (SPN) with matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-7-dependent proximity-activated targeting (PAT) is described here. The PAT-SPN was designed to trigger cellular uptake and cytosolic delivery of siRNA once activated by MMP-7, an enzyme whose overexpression is a hallmark of cancer initiation and progression. The PAT-SPN is composed of a corona-forming PEG block, an MMP-7-cleavable peptide, a cationic siRNA-condensing block, and a pH-responsive, endosomolytic terpolymer block that drives self-assembly and forms the PAT-SPN core. With this novel design, the PEG corona shields cellular interactions until it is cleaved in MMP-7-rich environments, shifting SPN?-potential from +5.8 to +14.4 mV and triggering a 2.5 fold increase in carrier internalization. The PAT-SPN exhibited pH-dependent membrane disruptive behavior that enabled siRNA escape from endo-lysosomal pathways. Efficient intracellular siRNA delivery and knockdown of the model enzyme luciferase in R221A-Luc mammary tumor cellssignificantly depended on MMP-7 pre-activation. These combined data indicate that the PAT-SPN provides a promising new platform for tissue-specific, proximity-activated siRNA delivery to MMP-rich pathological environments.

Compartmentalized Polymeric Nanoparticles Deliver Vancomycin in a pH-Responsive Manner.

Project description:Vancomycin (VCM) is a last resort antibiotic in the treatment of severe Gram-positive infections. However, its administration is limited by several drawbacks such as: strong pH-dependent charge, tendency to aggregate, low bioavailability, and poor cellular uptake. These drawbacks were circumvented by engineering pH-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) capable to incorporate high VCM payload and deliver it specifically at slightly acidic pH corresponding to infection sites. Taking advantage of peculiar physicochemical properties of VCM, here we show how to incorporate VCM efficiently in biodegradable NPs made of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) and polylactic acid (co)polymers. The NPs were prepared by a simple and reproducible method, establishing strong electrostatic interactions between VCM and the (co)polymers' end groups. VCM payloads reached up to 25 wt%. The drug loading mechanism was investigated by solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The engineered NPs were characterized by a set of advanced physicochemical methods, which allowed examining their morphology, internal structures, and chemical composition on an individual NP basis. The compartmentalized structure of NPs was evidenced by cryogenic transmission electronic microscopy, whereas the chemical composition of the NPs' top layers and core was obtained by electron microscopies associated with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Noteworthy, atomic force microscopy coupled to infrared spectroscopy allowed mapping the drug location and gave semiquantitative information about the loadings of individual NPs. In addition, the NPs were stable upon storage and did not release the incorporated drug at neutral pH. Interestingly, a slight acidification of the medium induced a rapid VCM release. The compartmentalized NPs could find potential applications for controlled VCM release at an infected site with local acidic pH.

Tumor Microenvironment-Stimuli Responsive Nanoparticles for Anticancer Therapy.

Project description:Cancer is a disease that affects a large number of people all over the world. For treating cancer, nano-drug delivery system has been introduced recently with objective of increasing therapeutic efficiency of chemotherapeutic drug. The main characteristics of this system are the encapsulation of the insoluble chemotherapeutic cargo, increasing the period of circulation in the body, as well as the delivery of the drug at that specific site. Currently, the nano-drug delivery system based on the stimuli response is becoming more popular because of the extra features for controlling the drug release based on the internal atmosphere of cancer. This review provides a summary of different types of internal (pH, redox, enzyme, ROS, hypoxia) stimuli-responsive nanoparticle drug delivery systems as well as perspective for upcoming times.
